Grey hair caused by genetics? Think again. Grey hair is actually caused by low thyroid and low copper, NOT GENETICS. Grey hairs increase as we age because thyroid hormone T3 declines with age. Thyroid hormone can make grey hairs black again. Thyroid hormone is known as the

Maximizing your natural production of thyroid will help you become lean and energetic in a healthy way. T3 and T4 are the center of thyroid hormones that will improve the quality of your life dramatically.

5 side effects of hypothyroidism (low thyroid): - Hair loss - Losing the outer part of eyebrow - Fat gain - Swelling -Cold hands and feet

In this thread, I'm going to go over a few simple and easy supplements you can use on a daily basis to boost T3 for preventing and reversing of grey hairs - please enjoy!

1. Take Black Seeds In just 8 weeks, 2 grams of Nigella sativa seed powder (Black seed) lead to significant reductions in BMI, IL-23 levels, TSH, and anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO), while also elevating serum T3 levels.

Black seed is also famously known as the “cure for every disease except death”

It’s also high in thymoquinone - a powerful quinone that boosts metabolism and lowers oxidative stress and inflammation. I personally take 30-50 seeds daily and have been feeling amazing ever since. You CAN too!

2. Aspirin Aspirin is anti-stress, anti-inflammatory, pro-metabolic and last but not least, pro-thyroid. Aspirin also shifts the mitochondria from the state of oxidizing fats into oxidizing glucose, which is favorable for thyroid hormone (T3) and hair health

When people used aspirin, their tissue conversion of T4 to the active form T3 was significantly increased

“Since aspirin’s effects on the mitochondria are similar to those of T3, using both of them might improve brain energy production more than just thyroid”. - Dr. Ray Peat

3. Coffee/Caffeine Caffeine has remarkable parallels to thyroid and progesterone, caffeine tends to activate thyroid secretion by a variety of mechanisms, increasing cyclic AMP and decreasing serotonin in thyroid cells - a hidden superfood.

Coffee drinkers have a lower incidence of thyroid disease, including cancer, than non-drinkers

4. Royal Jelly Royal Jelly (RJ) is an anabolic porridge-like liquid extracted from the hypopharynx glands of the worker bees. Its the RJ fed to a small larva which eventually makes it grow 60x bigger and live for 40x longer than the other bees in the hive.

Royal jelly is a nutrient bomb containing a pretty balanced ratio of carbs (15%), protein (12%), and fat (5%), while also supplying vitamins: B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, biotin, and folic acid.

RJ also contains the minerals: calcium, copper, iron, phosphorus, potassium, silica, and sulfur.

5. Ashwagandha Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb commonly used in the Indian herbal medicine known as Ayurveda. As I was researching possible thyroid supplements, I was quite surprised to see that not only is this thing already worth buying due to its effects on stress

One study found that it could be helpful for increasing thyroid hormones and preventing hypothyroid symptoms. “The treatment with ashwagandha for 4 and 8 weeks resulted in SIGNIFICANT INCREASE in serum T3 levels from baseline values by 18.6% ( p = 0.0121) and 41.5% ( p <

6. Taurine Taurine is an antioxidative amino acid, it’s commonly found in bile, large intestines, heart, and testicles. Mother’s milk is also relatively high in taurine.

When it comes to health benefits, taurine has many. It can help the body to assimilate and utilize minerals, help balance electrolytes, raise testosterone levels, improve liver health, and improve the health of diabetics

Since taurine also increases dopamine levels in the brain, it can reduce serotonin and prolactin, which is favorable for metabolic rate and thyroid function.

7. Micronutrients Vitamins and minerals are undoubtedly the most important supplements you need for proper thyroid health. The thyroid gland needs: -Iodine -B vitamins -Selenium -Vitamins A -Magnesium -Calcium Now understand why a quality multivitamin supplement could improve

@questmoosa Ah but you forgot the massive help and evidence of adding copper to turn back grey hair.

@Rainmaking its because copper is needed for melanin production

@questmoosa @questmoosa would desiccated thyroid be a good add too?

@SvenDeSilva3 no need to add - if doing even just a few of these things!

@questmoosa Grey hair isn’t “low thyroid.” It’s genetics and age. Thyroid or copper issues can speed it up, but correcting them won’t magically turn grey black. Once follicles stop making melanin, they don’t restart. Popping T3 isn’t a beauty hack. Take it alone, and you’ll crash your T4,

@questmoosa Can I eat my old copper pipe in the garage?

@questmoosa I’ve been on a high dose of synthroid (150 mcg) for over 30 years (cancer). I’m in my 60’s now with negligible grey hair. My mom didn’t go grey until her 70’s tho, so I’m not sure if it’s genetic or not.

@questmoosa @AdrianneCurry did you know this?

@questmoosa I’ve been on thyroid since I was 25. While it did turn my dark blond and straight hair dark brown and curly/wavy. That said I’ve still been getting progressively gray for years.

@questmoosa Interesting but my husband has no thyroid issues (maybe low copper) and has been grey since his 30’s.
